About The Position

CTV is an established 3PL and product preparation operation supporting high-volume ecommerce brands for over 15 years. We specialize in receiving, prepping, kitting, and shipping large quantities of product—primarily into Amazon FBA—at scale. Our operation runs hundreds of truckloads per month across inbound freight, outbound FTL/LTL, and direct-to-Amazon shipments. Transportation efficiency is critical to our margins, warehouse flow, and customer experience. We are seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented Transportation Logistics Coordinator to fully own our domestic freight execution and cost optimization strategy. This role is not a basic scheduling position. It is a high-impact operations role responsible for managing 200+ LTL and FTL shipments per month, owning our drop-trailer programs, auditing freight spend, and actively driving down transportation costs through smarter planning, negotiation, and execution. You will work closely with warehouse leadership, carriers, and internal stakeholders to ensure freight moves efficiently, equipment turns quickly, and unnecessary transportation costs are eliminated.

Responsibilities

Analyze freight spend, lanes, and shipment data to identify opportunities to convert high-cost LTL into consolidated FTL shipments, improve pallet density and reduce “shipping air”.
Rigorously audit freight invoices and dispute invalid accessorial charges, re-weigh and re-class adjustments, detention, demurrage, and other avoidable fees.
Actively monitor live-load performance and eliminate detention through better planning and carrier coordination.
Use the Transportation Management System (TMS) to plan, schedule, and execute inbound freight, direct-to-customer shipments, and direct-to-Amazon (FBA) shipments.
Serve as the primary owner of CTV’s drop-trailer / drop-and-hook programs.
Coordinate daily trailer pulls and returns, ensure empties are returned on time to avoid yard congestion, and maintain continuous trailer availability for warehouse operations.
Track trailer dwell time and enforce negotiated free-time to avoid per-diem or rental penalties.
Partner closely with warehouse leadership to maximize pallet counts per truck, ensure efficient loading windows, prevent underutilized shipments, and balance carrier schedules with warehouse throughput to maintain smooth dock flow.
Track and report on key transportation KPIs, including cost per load, on-time pickup and delivery, and trailer utilization and dwell time.
Identify and implement process improvements that streamline freight booking, communication, and execution across teams.
